On the one hand it is the most lavishly funded transport organisation in the country. On the other, it is stretched to breaking point operating probably the most extensive and sophisticated network of trains and buses in Europe. Crossrail, the £15bn-plus joint venture with the Department for Transport to build a new rail line across the capital, is making matters worse.

The much-delayed Night Tube is all set to be tested this weekend ahead of its official launch on 19 August “ almost a year after the original debut date.
The 24-hour Tube service will be trialled today and tomorrow on the Victoria and Central lines after the last Tube runs to ensure it doesnt disrupt normal passenger services.
A TfL spokesman said: 'The trains will involve operational staff “ station and train staff “ and no customers so it will be behind closed doors.'
It will initially go live on Central and Victoria next week and will then begin operating on the Piccadilly, Jubilee and Northern lines in two phases over the autumn, once new drivers are trained. When the new launch date was announced back in May, around 200 part-time drivers were taking part in a 14-week training programme.
